Summary:
Ahed scored deep into extra time to edge Tripoli 1-0 in the Lebanese Cup quarterfinals Sunday and keep their bid for a historic treble season firmly on track.
Later that day,
Ahed confronted Israeli soldiers when they forced themselves into the courtyard of her family's home.
Faced with embarrassment as that video went viral, Israelis decided to arrest

[twitter-tweet]I spoke to
Ahed Tamimi in her first sit-down interview out of Israeli prison.
In late July, the Israeli authorities released
Ahed al-Tamimi and her mother, Nariman, after both had served eight months behind bars.
And that is why its government officials, without intended resort to hyperbole, called
Ahed "dangerous".
In Nabi Saleh, supporters welcomed
Ahed home with Palestinian flags planted on the roof of her home.
Ahed was sentenced in March to eight months in prison for slapping an Israeli soldier outside her home, backdated to when she was first detained in December.
Ashrawi added that
Ahed and her humanity captured the imagination of many people around the world because of her spirit and refusal not to be intimidated by Israeli soldiers.
Ahed was 16 when she was arrested and turned 17 in custody.
Dutch activists in The Netherlands have taken it upon themselves to rename 13 streets in honor of
Ahed Tamimi, the 17 year-old Palestinian activist who was sentenced to eight months in prison after slapping an Israeli soldier.
